ABSTRACT:
A unitary basket having at least two bottom portions at different elevations that define deep and shallow basket portions. A plurality of upsplints form a wall of the deep portion and the bottom of the shallow portion, which extends transversely from the top of the wall. A weave strip positioned immediately below the basket bottom panel extends over the outer surface of the outermost upsplints in the wall panel. A short splint positioned adjacent to the wall panel extends over the outer surface of the outermost upsplints in the bottom panel. The consecutive oversplints urge the upsplints inwardly and upwardly to define a sharp angle between the wall and bottom panels. The method includes the steps of weaving the oversplints over the outermost upsplints in the wall and bottom panels.
